about

Hi, I'm Emily. Call me Emily or Em, I prefer either. I have been a featured columnist 2 times now. After disabling my account I had about 3 years ago, a lot has happened which made me want to come back. I feel as though helping people with their problems, helps me solve mine, even if that doesn't make a lot of sense to any of you. Don't hesitate to ask me anything, I will answer fairly quickly depending on the question. If you want a hard-thought out answer, which is what I usually give, it may take a little longer- it benefits everyone in the long run.

Okay so I know that whole "it's only awkward if you make it awkward" phrase will probably apply here, but anyhow: I have a crush on a guy in my class. I'm 99% sure that he likes me back (he constantly stares at me and does all that body language stuff). But the problem here is that I never really get a chance to talk to him. I say little more than "hi" to him everyday, somethings a few sentences if I'm lucky. But online I've talked to him for hours. I'm afraid that I'm getting into the bad habit of not talking to him in person and that it might become awkward? We're going to the same party next week and I want to know how to talk to him without being all weird. He always makes me feel nervous at first, but when we start talking it becomes easier. Any tips would help. Also, what should I wear? It's not really formal but I want to look cute :). Thanks!

This sounds a lot like me. I think the only thing you can do is just talk to him more and more everyday. It's awkward at first, but I look at it this way. There's nothing to feel awkward about. He likes you for you, you don't have to feel awkward when you do stuff around him, you know? Thats the perspective I like to put it in. Try it, and let me know how that goes.


As for the party. Jeans and a cute shirt, add some cute accessories on too :)

(Rating: 5) Aww, that's such a good point. I never thought of it that way. I try to think of it as "he's just a regular guy" and then I'll see him and feel like ahhh. Your idea seems more logical. Thanks :D.
